OMG this cardigan. I love Jen's Pirate Booty so it's no surprise that they've made the cardigan I've been looking for my entire life. I love the colour, the loose fit, the pattern, the pockets. It checks off every box for the perfect fall cardigan. I'm also obsessing over their bomber jacket.

A quick outfit post (it's been awhile!). I bought this cute ASOS check skort a few weeks ago and didn't think I'd get a chance to wear it because it suddenly got pretty chilly, but then we went back to 70-degree weather late last week and I was able to wear this skort on the weekend. I was going to pair it with a black sweater, but it was so warm out I went with a simple black tee and, of course, my go-to Vans. We went out for ice cream and could not ask for a more perfect evening (especially in November!).

Happy Friday! How cute is this convertible sweater scarf from Free People? It also comes in navy/red. Perfect to throw on when you're running out the door for a touch of extra warmth for when you need it in the morning and then wear it as a regular scarf wrapped around your neck when it warms up in the afternoon. Obsessed.

Happy Friday! I need these booties in my life. Velvet? Check. Embellishments? Check. You can find these booties at Bloomingdale's + if you buy 2 or more pairs of shoes, you can get 25% off (on select styles)!

Happy Friday! Anthropologie is having a 'Happy Harvest Event' where you can save up to 25% off on fall items! One of the items I've been eyeing from Anthropologie (& is currently sitting in my shopping cart, along with about 25 other things that I'm trying to narrow down) is this beautiful soft-sleeved sweater by Knitted & Knotted. I'm a sucker for a cozy sweater and you can't get much cozier than a sweater with fuzzy, soft sleeves. I always look for unique pieces and this sweater not only has different textures, but also has my favourite feature: a statement sleeve. Plus, it's ivory and I love my 'winter whites' so this sweater checks of another box. And this sweater is also under $100 (not including the discount)! So not only does this sweater check off 1 box, but it checks off 5!

Happy Friday! There is so much goodness out there for fall, I want everything. I am currently obsessing over this ZARA checked top. The embroidery is so beautiful! Sadly, it's still hot in the South and this top would be too warm to wear here. Well, I could wear it in the morning because we're starting to have cool mornings, but then I'd have to take it off for the afternoon. It's a whole thing. But I can't wait to stock up on all things checked. ZARA always has great checked pieces. I also love this embroidered tunic, this oversized checked dress (that probably only a few could pull off, but I'm obsessed), this embroidered checked shirt (the back is stunning!!) and this checked dress with floral embroidery.

Happy Friday! It has been deathly hot here this week. Living in Myrtle Beach was so great because you would just cool off at the beach, but now that we live upstate I've been hibernating as if it's winter in Canada. But I've been keeping busy with Shopbop's 'Event of the Season' (ends today!), where you can save up to 25% off your entire order!! Even though it's so hot here in the South, I can't help but drool over all of the jackets for fall. Today's find is this gorgeous MOTHER faux fur jacket. I love the colour. I love that it can be worn casually with jeans, as seen here, or thrown on top of a pretty dress and booties.
